2017 Hucker 4.8 sail

Quick Overview

Hucker 4.8 m² power jumping sail

Power and acceleration are at the core of windsurfing's attraction. The Hucker sail exploits this end of windsurfing's appeal. The Hucker is air surfing -- it's foil surfing the wind flow, with a board at your feet. The Hucker design criteria focuses on stability, power and control at speed, with a particular emphasis on extended hang-time when airborne.

Designed for high octane power sailing for bigger, and more aggressive riders who like to go fast, turn hard and jump high. Proven to be just as well suited for more modestly inclined riders to cruise around on the smallest sail they can get away with. Either way, the Hucker sails "ride big" and the 4.8 Hucker covers the same wind range as the 5.0 Retro or 5.2 Revo would do.

Luff Length: 428 cm

Boom Length: 171 cm

Note that the luff and boom lengths listed are intended only as a guide to rig assembly and sail trim. Depending on the rig components you choose and your boom height, these dimensions may not always correspond exactly to the settings that are best for you. We measure boom length from the front of the mast to the back of the clew. Maximum boom length is achieved at a very flat outhaul setting with the boom at the top of the boom opening. We measure luff length from the top of the headcap, around the front of the mast curve to a point perpendicular to the mast opposite the underside of the triple pulley. Refer to the rigging instructions for instruction upon interpreting visual references to proper sail tuning.
